40th Annual Government-Business Forum On Small Business Capital Formation, SE Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, May 24, 2021

Date 24/05/2021

Thank you, Martha [Miller].  I am pleased to be here on the first day of our fortieth annual Government-Business Forum on Small Business Capital Formation.  These events are a wonderful opportunity to bring people together to discuss the nuts and bolts of capital formation, a topic of heightened importance this year as the economy begins the long transition back from virtual to in-person.  With that transition, we hope that small businesses that have held on through the pandemic will regain momentum.  We also look forward to seeing new businesses, the brainchildren of entrepreneurs stuck at home during the pandemic, get off to a strong start.

A Toast To 40: Opening Remarks At The SEC Small Business Forum, Martha Miller, Advocate For Small Business Capital Formation, May 24, 2021

Date 24/05/2021

Good afternoon, everyone. Whether this is your first Small Business Forum or fortieth, I want to thank you for joining us today and over the course of the week. Planning any 40th event—whether a birthday, anniversary, or work milestone—engenders an element of nostalgia. If this were a birthday party, we might have a slideshow of childhood pictures and play top hits from the year of birth. In planning for this year’s 40th Small Business Forum, our team couldn’t help but think about the original Forum in 1982 and the events that precipitated it. So please humor me today as I paint the picture of then and now, photos and all. The good news for you: unlike a birthday party toast, this one will not trail on and on, leaving you wondering which cousin will take the mic from the loquacious uncle.
